Quess Corp Share: Why Did it Drop over 50% on April 15?

Quess Corp shares recorded a significant drop on April 15, 2025, closing over 50% lower than the previous session. The decline followed the demerger of 2 of its business units, Digitide Solutions and Bluspring Enterprises. The stock adjustment reflects the separation of these businesses, not any operational or financial setbacks.

The share price dropped due to the exclusion of the value of the two demerged units, Digitide and Bluspring, from Quess Corp’s consolidated valuation. The businesses will now operate as independent companies. Their respective valuations will be determined upon their separate listing on the stock exchanges.

Details of the Demerger

The demerger process was announced in February 2024 and approved by the National Company Law Tribunal. The objective was to restructure Quess Corp into three focused companies, Quess Corp, Digitide Solutions, and Bluspring Enterprises.

The record date for the demerger was April 15, 2025. Shareholders holding Quess Corp stock on that date are eligible to receive equity shares, ₹10 face value each, in both Digitide and Bluspring, subject to regulatory clearances.

The listing dates of the two new entities are yet to be announced, but are expected within the next 2 months.

Post-Demerger Structure and Shareholder Entitlements

Quess Corp will continue operating its core staffing and outsourcing businesses, while Digitide will focus on technology services and Bluspring on facility management. The demerger has created standalone business units, each intended to pursue independent strategies.

Each eligible shareholder of Quess Corp will receive proportionate allotments in the new companies. The shareholding pattern and ratio of distribution will be detailed upon listing of Digitide and Bluspring.

Quess Corp Share Price Performance

On April 15, 2025, Quess Corp share price opened at ₹284.00 on the NSE and closed at ₹298.20, sharply down from its previous close of ₹604.90. This marked a steep 50.70% intraday decline.

The stock’s 52-week high of ₹875.00 was recorded on September 23, 2024. Its 52-week low of ₹272.15 was hit earlier in the day.

Conclusion

The decline in Quess Corp’s share price is a technical adjustment following the demerger of its businesses. There is no underlying negative development. Investors should interpret the move as part of a planned corporate restructuring. The total value of shareholder investment will be better understood once the newly created companies, Digitide and Bluspring, are listed and begin trading independently.
